First Postpartum Period and Tampons

Nicole

So I know you’re supposed to wait to be cleared by your OB for sex and whatnot after having your baby, but are tampons fine to use (after initial bleeding has stopped?)

My 6 week checkup with my OB is on Tuesday and my period started today (I’m not even 6 weeks postpartum yet 😭). I’m REALLY not a pad kinda gal, so I’d really prefer to use tampons if it’s safe.

Anyone know if this is okay?
